We just had a strong, but rather short, storm front blow through that dropped 0.75" of rain so far. Looks like we might get a bit more before it is all said and done.
We had a tornado watch in effect too.

Looks like the front may get stuck over us so maybe 3".

I'm showing 3.75" of rain here for April.
13.16" of rain for 2020 so far.
The forecast is looking kind of dry through the next week or so, with just modest chances of rain.
Had a couple of yellow flies bite me yesterday, so things might be going to be getting dicey (painful) about doing any work outside.

I also noticed yellow flies week before last. They like hot weather and seem more active early in the AM or late in the PM.

Actually, they like the taste of human blood whenever they can get it.
Got to put new batteries in the bug zappers ( https://www.homedepot.com/p/Black-Fl...36-L/302273000). These proved to be pretty handy last year knocking the hell out of the yellow flies. Pretty darn satisfying ZAP when they hit that electrified grid!
Actually put some "fun" into the yellow fly season.

I'm watching a storm front creeping up on us now, hoping it won't just fall apart when it gets here. Then reform up once it gets past us. That happens pretty frequently this time of year.

Well, yeah, we only got the short end of the rain stick. 0.18" worth. Looks like there might be another brief shower or too yet to come, but I'm not holding my breath hoping it will be enough to not have to resume cranking up the irrigation for the fruit trees.
